    Visual Studio 2008 9.0.3

    Hi all of you. Do you know where I can find a Visual Studio 2008 9.0.3, anything except express edition ? I have found a Visual Studio 2008 9.0.2 on some site, but it is not suitable for me, doesn't have MFC feature pack inside ...
    Thank you.

    Why do you want VS2008? Why not the current fee VS2015 Community which includes MFC? I think the only free version of VS2008 was Express which doesn't include MFC.

    I have old projects developed on VS2008 (which are not small), and I need to work on them ...

    There were no free versions of VS2008 that included MFC. The version(s) of VS2008 that included MFC were the paid-for versions. It's still possible to buy a copy of VS2008 that includes MFC. However as the free VS2015 Community edition includes MFC, why not upgrade to VS2015?

    Older versions of VS on msdn are not there as Microsoft no longer supports them and they don't conform to the latest c++ standards.

    But they was standard compliance on their time, however, there was useful to store them at least for testing purpose ... if they were get claims for standards, they answer has been simple: use VS2015 ...
